In an update regarding Dr. Chris Boehm of Findlay, it has been revealed that he is now facing a Class B Misdemeanor for obstruction of service. According to a charge sheet, Boehm allegedly hid in his house to avoid service. The offense is detailed as follows: "That on or about April 15, 2024, in Shelby County, the defendant, CHRISTOPHER J. BOEHM, committed the offense of OBSTRUCTING SERVICE OF PROCESS..."

Boehm's recent legal troubles stem from his actions surrounding a Grand Jury proceeding. Initially facing an indirect criminal contempt charge for refusing to testify, Boehm managed to resolve that contempt by testifying in a Grand Jury session. However, his journey took a turn when he obstructed the service of his subpoena for the same Grand Jury.

The situation escalated further when it was discovered that Boehm filed a complaint against the State's Attorney in March, which was swiftly dismissed as unfounded after only seven days. This complaint, filed with the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (ARDC), contained information about the Grand Jury proceedings and other alleged false information.

As the legal process unfolds, Boehm is now required to appear in Courtroom A on May 9, 2024, regarding the Class B Misdemeanor charge for obstructing service. The specific accusation against him highlights that he deliberately evaded the service of the subpoena.

The developments in Dr. Boehm's case serve as a reminder of the complexities and consequences that can arise from legal entanglements, especially when it involves acts that impede the judicial process.
